Mountin" Subject: gethostbyaddr Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Bad case of log bloat: Trying to figure out why I have "...gethostbyaddr() failed.." in the maillog. It seems that this happens with every mail message and for each aliased IP (same PID) and there are 150 aliases and rising. The maillog is set in syslog for mail.info and this should be at the notice level, IMHO. Fresh 2.2.1 and nothing really done with sendmail (secondary). Running a customized smap to proxy mail. It is also happening on a 2.1.7 machine running Stronghold, but only about 15 virutals. DNS otherwise works fine and smap does check inverse/forward no problem. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990
